Timber framed cabin nestled in the Pocono Mountains on a private 400 acre estate

Escape to the beauty of nature! You may never have stayed in cabins quite like ours. Hand built by the owner with wood from the land, they are an unmatched combination of comfort and charm. Overlooking a beautiful brook and mountain view, with trails to the Lehigh River Gorge, the setting offers tranquil scenery and sounds. Come and enjoy the best of nature amongst cozy amenities and great outdoor adventure.

Not only are our cabins nestled privately on the 400 acre estate, but is surrounded by 30,000 acres of state park land. Get away from the pressures of everyday life as you disappear into ultimate relaxation at The Brookside Lodges. Your romantic getaway or adventurous retreat awaits you.

Our luxurious rustic cabins offer 3BR, 2 baths (one with a clawfoot tub. The sound of the brook can be heard as you soak peacefully), with spacious open ceilings and skylights. It can comfortably house up to seven, although if you are only two, you will still find it cozy. Covered porches and balconies, on both levels, provide a spectacular treetop view of the brook, pond, and surrounding nature. Fern Cabin is decorated with unique and rare root furniture, fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, and prepared with fresh bed linens and towels. Primary suite contains a king sized bed; other bedroom has a queen, and a bunk bed room featuring a full bottom and twin top in a private room with bathroom. The cabin is stocked with board games and game room for fun family evenings. You will feel warm and welcomed the moment you step through our door.

Enjoy hiking to our 50 ft waterfall and the Lehigh River. You can fish our pond; swim in a spring fed swimming pond, or just relax in breathtaking silence. For the more adventurous (or to just relax and float around) there are tubes and paddle boats to use in our natural spring fed swimming pond. Your private bonfire area, supplied with wood, will be ready for evening s'more roasting and stargazing (no light pollution, you can see the Milky Way!) Endless activities are available no matter what the season.
** ice skate on the pond when conditions permit!

Hike & cross country ski to your heart’s content. Miles of private trails run along the brook through the woods and mountains. The scenery is beautiful and nature abounds. You will find the terrain appropriate for all ages.

You may never need to leave the property, but if you do, even more beauty awaits. Located just a short drive from major ski resorts, golf courses, White Water Challenger, Lehigh Gorge State Park, Hickory Run State Park, Rails to Trails, Jim Thorp, and Pocono Raceway, to name a few.

Unwind as you retreat and enjoy the harmonies of nature while you create your adventure at The Brookside Lodges, it promises to be a getaway you will remember.

For larger groups, family reunions, weddings, our identical cabin "Brook" is available.

The owner lives on property and is available help make your stay as comfortable and exciting as possible.

We look forward to seeing you in our little piece of paradise!

Picture Perfect!
We had a wonderful vacation at Fern cabin. It was very private, quiet and comfortable. The cabin and property was as beautiful as the pictures. We enjoyed fishing in the ponds, hiking to the waterfall and D&L Trail, and visiting the state park that was nearby. We definitely would love to return and highly recommend this vacation spot.

We were lucky enough to arrive to blanket of snow and had snow fall our first night BEAUTIFUL. Tom made sure we had dry fire wood and delicious farm fresh eggs. We hiked miles on both the property and the state park. The trek down the cliff to see the waterfall was worth the effort. Very quiet and peaceful property.

Upscale cabin in beautiful Poconos setting
Cabin was clean and comfortable and well equipped for a weekend stay. Welcomed to the cabin by Major Tom who was helpful and gave good advice on things to do. Nice natural areas to walk or bike from the cabin; scenic territory to drive around; lots of stars visible at night; satellite TV available; internet almost nonexistent so don't plan to work there; we were concerned about using the unvented fireplace but at least there were CO monitors and some electric heaters in bedrooms; bring some ground or instant coffee if you are a coffee drinker; no stores nearby (have to go to White Haven) so do your shopping before arrival. Friendly ducks outside, saw some large turkeys too. Overall, a great place to relax for a few days, private and peaceful.

We only stayed at this amazing property for a weekend, but it was exactly what we needed. We stayed in the Fern Lodge. It was beautiful and the property was full of places to hike and explore. They even have the cutest ducks that you can feed right out of your hand!! It was so relaxing... really the perfect getaway. Our host was great... so friendly and knowledgeable. Also very accessible for any and all of our needs. He even gave us fresh eggs from his chickens for our breakfast. Delicious!! We fell in love with this place... it really felt like a home away from home. We were all sad to leave, but we will def be going back to visit again!!

We had a wonderful and memorable stay. If you enjoy the quiet wonder of nature with a personal touch from Major Tom, then this is the vacation for you. We travelled with two small boys and as family we enjoyed hiking on the property, feeding the ducks (Major tom made sure kids had food each day), discovering waterfalls and making bonfire every night. Once you arrive at the cabin, you have everything you need and don't want to leave. The view from both cabin is the best. Best part having your morning coffee on the balcony with brook running in background. It's been the best and most relaxing vacation we had in last eight years. We didn't feel the need for internet or technology nor our children. Disconnected from reality and truly recharged, enjoyed our children, our friends and this little paradise. We have enjoyed table games they have. Major Tom's personal touch made a huge difference, constant check in to ensure we have everything we need, from wood, duck food and answered all the questions we may had bout the area- made us feel like home away from home. We enjoyed his company and goodies what he brought for our boys. Thank you for a special welcome to our veterans from our group. Thanks again Major Tom, you made us feel so welcome, that personal touch is what made our stay so wonderful. Sincerely, the Davids

For Outdoors Fans
The property was beautiful inside and out. The furniture was so neat, but not too practical nor comfortable. There were crumbs in the refrigerator drawers and some of the cupboards, but the rest was clean. There was a pair of underwear on the back deck which concerned us a bit. The view from the back deck was really nice. The spiral stairs were so beautiful and neat, but they were tough for the older (age 70+) adults. There was duck food to feed the very friendly ducks which the kids loved. The kayaks on the pond worked well, but the paddle boat only went in one direction and wouldn't steer. It was within reasonable distance of the attractions. If you're a bigger/taller person, you'll struggle in the small shower. It was weird not having a key to lock the door. If you're planning on being outside more than inside, you're good to go. The kitchen light was working when we got there and the property manager worked hard to get in fixed within 30 minutes. We appreciated that.

Beautiful cabin nestled in the woods
The cabin, its surroundings, and the welcoming host Major Tom were all exactly what we hoped they would be. The cabin is large and very well-maintained, and stocked with everything you may need for a fun and comfortable stay. Towels and linens were plentiful, clean and relatively new. There are 2 decks with swinging chairs and a great grill, and a front porch. The pool table in the basement was popular with my sons. There are multiple ponds on the property and we caught a bunch of fish. We had a fire almost every night at the well-stocked fire pit, and enjoyed hiking to the nearby waterfall. This summary wouldn't be complete without mentioning our host Major Tom who provided a great deal of information about activities, restaurants, etc and brought us fresh eggs and vegetables from his garden. He has some great stories and a very interesting background. The smiles on my sons' faces were all I needed to confirm that this vacation will be a lasting memory for all of us. Oh, the only challenge was the Wifi. There was very little signal. But, I was happy to be off the grid. On 2 days we drove to Hazelton and used Wifi in restaurants for an hour or so. For us, this wasn't an issue.

Perfect getaway
Our family had a wonderfully relaxing stay in the Fern cabin. Everything was as expected and Major Tom went above and beyond to ensure our stay was relaxing and stress free. He treated us to fresh eggs from his chickens, local corn and many tips about the property and local area. The first few days of our trip were quite warm but the air conditioning in the cabin was more than adequate. We enjoyed feeding the ducks each morning, long walks on the property and mountain biking from our front door to the Lehigh Gorge Trail. The big sky, fresh air and silence were a welcomed change that made for a great week. We hope to visit again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Fern cabin it was our home for 3 days. And that is not enough time. I could easily live out there indefinitely. The quiet and the sounds of nature surround you. The clean crisp air. The creek behind the cabin, the trail the water fall. The numerous ponds and wonderful sunsets. Were some of the experiences we will cherish. And we cannot forget Major Tom. He was there shortly to greet you and be of service of anything you needed. Very sociable and knowledgeable you can easily engage on having a conversation with him. He helped us build a fire for the night and was helpful for anything we needed during our stay. I would love to return to spend more time in this beautiful property. Was able to zen and ground myself for my trip back home. Thank you for sharing a piece of paradise with us.-Vivian from the flatlands

This cabin was absolutely beautiful. It was tucked in a quiet wooded area on top of a mountain. Sunset was breathtaking. The wood made furniture from the Philippines was stunning. The cabin was so relaxing and comfortable. Major Tom who was taking care of the property when we were there greeted us immediately & got us settled in. He brought us fresh eggs and showed our teen boys how to make a fire. He brought food for the ducks. We were in area for family emergency so we did not get a chance to venture out on the property but we plan on going back for a weekend getaway. This is literally a hidden gem Thanks to Major Tom for making our stay memorable

The brookside lodge cabin was like a dream coming true to me. Situated on the hill with the brook singing at the back and vast green meadow in the front, it’s like a heaven of peace. The root sculpture furniture are stunningly gorgeous. The ducks come at the door every morning for food. Feeding them is such a fun thing. Major Tom is wonderful and very helpful. I hope more people come here to help maintain this beautiful piece of nature.
